Could somebody *please* explain this new, strange naming scheme?  What's
the gain compared to

Name: kernel
Version: 2.4.16
Release: 3mdk

And for the older/newer kernels:

Name: kernel-2.2 or kernel-2.5

Really, what's gained by changing the *name* of the package each time?
Won't this break stuff that "Requires: kernel >= 2.4"?
